S'more Mug Cake
Description
The recipe mixes dry ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, and brown sugar with wet ingredients such as vegetable oil and water directly in a microwavable mug. It’s cooked briefly in the microwave to set the cake, then topped with cookie crumbs and marshmallows. A short second microwave burst softens the marshmallows to a fluffy texture that melds with the crumbly topping.
The mug cake is dense yet tender with the cocoa flavor balanced by the sugary crumbs and melted marshmallows. The vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic note. Microwaving provides rapid cooking without drying out the cake.
It’s best served immediately while warm and fresh, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream to complement the sweet, rich flavors. The mug format offers a single-serving convenience for a quick indulgence.
Microwave wattage and mug size affect cooking time, so watch closely to prevent overflow or overcooking. Ingredients can be refrigerated beforehand if preparation is done in advance.

Notes
- Microwave times vary with power and mug size; monitor closely to avoid overflow or overcooking.

- Serving warm with vanilla ice cream enhances the s'mores flavor and adds creaminess.
